ummmmmmm, sex after banding?
Brockbabe82 replied to spice's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doc said to wait 4 weeks, but I think it just depends on how comfortable you are. -
My only word of advice is to RELAX. If you follow all the rules and diets of the lapband you will lose weight. Everyone is nervous, just try and relax and focus on the start of a new you. This is the start of a happier and healthier you, and the lapband is the tool that will help make that possible! Good luck to you tommorrow, and I'm sending you positive vibes.

Im the same way! I can't help it! -

Do I have a leak? Please give some advice.
Brockbabe82 replied to NewMommy1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Something is NOT right here. You need to demand that he do something, a series of tests, a fill under a fluro, something to see what is going on. I have never heard or read on here about saline dissolving in air. Remember you are your own advocate and you need to be now. Please let me know how things work out for you! Good luck! -

pain and vomiting
Brockbabe82 replied to crowes_nest's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would call your surgeon now! You definitely want to make sure there is not anything dangerous going on. Good luck to you. -
I was very nervous about this happening to me. I was told if you are eating enough protein and taking your vitamins, you should be okay. I have not yet experienced this and I hope I dont. Good luck to you.

When does the "lose 10%" come into play?

Brockbabe82 replied to chantel03's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
You could do the liquid diet as said, and take a water pill, you can get them at a pharmacy in where like the diet pills and things are. Be careful though because that is just for water weight! -
Dealing with a negative sibling..

I couldn't have said it better myself. Good for you! You have to be an advocate for your own health, and it looks as if you've done that! -

I'm sorry you are having such a tough time. I do hope this new surgeon will ive you the answers to fix your problems.

Hi Sam! Congrats on the start of your process. I too have federal bcbs, and I found that once the paperwork got there I bothered them everyday til they approved me lol. The process for them to approve was about 10 days, not too long considering what you see some people wait. I hope that your process is fast as well. Good luck to you.

I chose the lapband because it was less invasive. Also studies have shown that three years down the road both band and bypass paients are at the same weightloss. even though you lose faster with the bypass, after about three years most people tend to gain weight back, because the somach stretches. Lapband patients also get the satisfaction of having this be adjusted forever something a bypass patient doesn get. I hope that helped.:cursing:
